longer wife of the handsome member Of the
New York Coaching Club. Her brother is
Freddy Gebhard. She brought suit for di-
vorce some time ago, and came here to live, as
many other fashionable ladies' had done before

dicted most sensational trial. in which live
skeletons would be introduced. Mr.. Nelson
showed fight and engaged able counsel. Mrs
Nelson also had an able counsel, Col Samuel
r. Honey, who expects to be elected Lieutenant
governor of Rhode Island on the equal rights
Democratic ticket The case was postponed from
time to time. Mrs. Nelson fully established
her residence here, and was entitled to all the
advantage to be given under the divorce laws Of
the State. A bitter fight, with sensational de-
velopments. was predicted all along the line.
Mrs. Nelson, who has an income Of $50 600,
asked for divorce the grounds of desertion
and non-snpport While the Supreme Court
was in session to-day, and while 70 spectators
were about, the case was quietly and quickly dis
posed Of, and Mrs. Nelson was granted her di-
vorce Her husbands counsel withdrew all op-
position hence there WAS no other course to pur.
sue. Mr.. Nelson's strange course will he a sur
prise to all club men of New York. Mrs. Neil

handsomely. She is popular, and is very good
to the poor and unfortunate of the city. She
has three handsome children.

A TALK WITH BISMARCK.

Why the German Chancellor Abandoned the
Idea Of Neutralizing Alsace-Lorraine.
BRUSSELS, March 3O.-The Belgian paper La.
Meuse prints report of conversation which,
it says Bismarck had with an illustrious Bel
gian, during the recent fetes at Berlin, in honor
of the ninetieth anniversary Of the Emperor's
birth. According to this report, the German
Chancellor said he had abandoned the idea of
neutralizing Aleace-L Lorraine because it would
province, he said was only preservable so long
as the people were prepared to defend their neu-
trality by force of arms, and he could not admit
that such determination existed in Alsace-
Lorraine. Therefore" said the Chancellor
I'VE intend the provinces shall remain
incorporated with Germany. Their for
tresses are strong bnlwork against
France, and for US they have the advantage
of removing. by several days march, the start
ing point for an aggressive movement against US
from France. Two months ago." added Bis
marck. II feared there would be war. I do not
now. Still. we must be prepared for war. We
never know what is to happen. Who could have
expected q few years ago, that the Pope and
would become faithful allies?'
BERLIN. March 30.-Leeisation for Alsace-
Lorraine is to be again delegated to the Reich
stag. A bill will shortly be introduced to re-
store the status existing prior to 1879. The
autonomous legislation of the provincial COM
mittee and the secretaryship of state are to be
abolished If the provincial administration be
modelled after the Prussian provincial governor
ships the post of Staatholter will become doubt
full. While France discusses Germanys perma-
nent possession OF Alsace-I1oraine. Germany de-
sires greater security against French agitation.
